We all have prejudices to dispel: the need to get away from thinking that 'I' am important and special and 'you' are not, and the frightened mindset that tells us that certain 'others' are of no consequence.

More quotes by Ingrid Newkirk
Probably everything we do is a publicity stunt ... we are not here to gather members, to please, to placate, to make friends. We're here to hold the radical line.
Ingrid Newkirk
Fortified plant-based milks are delicious and contain all the calcium, protein, and vitamin D of dairy products but with none of the cholesterol, lactose, hormones, or cruelty found in cow's milk.
Ingrid Newkirk
Eating meat is primitive, barbaric, and arrogant.
Ingrid Newkirk
We’re looking for good lawsuits that will establish the interests of animals as a legitimate area of concern in law.
Ingrid Newkirk
If it's anything that's going to result in suffering to animals or people, then I don't think [the end] justifies the means... Yeah but then again if you could hurt ten people to save 100 people and there was no option, what would you do? I can't really address that.
Ingrid Newkirk
We have to be aggressive when those we stick up for have no voice. I don't consider it radical to say cruelty is wrong and that animals should be respected. I consider it radical to eat corpses, put electrodes in animals' heads, make elephants live in chains in the circus, and poison animals we consider a nuisance.
Ingrid Newkirk
Pigeon racing is a lousy, greedy, and often unlawful activity. One thing that it is not is kind to birds.
Ingrid Newkirk
The bottom line is that people dont have the right to manipulate or to breed dogs and cats ... If people want toys, they should buy inanimate objects. If they want companionship, they should seek it with their own kind.
Ingrid Newkirk
...no movement for social change has ever succeeded without 'the militarism component'....Thinkers may prepare revolutions, but bandits must carry them out
Ingrid Newkirk
Bulls can do nothing to demand justice. They can only defend themselves as best they can in a fight with a pre-determined ending and die never knowing why they were forced to endure such a painful and prolonged death. It's up to us, as a civilized society, to call for an end to the Running of the Bulls and bullfighting.
Ingrid Newkirk
It's the 21st century. It's healthier for us, better for the environment and certainly kinder to be a vegetarian.
Ingrid Newkirk
If we are ever to halt climate change and conserve land, water and other resources, not to mention reduce animal suffering, we must celebrate Earth Day every day - at every meal.
Ingrid Newkirk
Being asked to support humane meat means being asked to support the suffering of animals in transport, to approve of treatment that causes them palpable fear, their bodies shaking and their eyes wide as saucers, as they are slung by their legs into crates that are slammed onto the back of a truck.
Ingrid Newkirk
We do not advocate 'right to life' for animals.
Ingrid Newkirk
Everything we do is based at adults.
Ingrid Newkirk
Recognize meat for what it really is: the antibiotic- and pesticide-laden corpse of a tortured animal.
Ingrid Newkirk
If you like to bake with eggs, you can substitute Ener-G egg replacer, bananas, tofu, or many other ingredients. You get the hang of it quickly enough.
Ingrid Newkirk
I will be the last person to condemn ALF [the Animal Liberation Front].
Ingrid Newkirk
Never doubt that one person can make a difference.
Ingrid Newkirk
I plan to send my liver somewhere in France, to protest foie gras (liver pate) ... I plan to have handbags made from my skin ... and an umbrella stand made from my seat.
Ingrid Newkirk
